Slow speeds after power cut

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 10:32:58

I know just how you feel, I'm just below a 3M profile right now, another 96k would do it.

Glenn · Jan 30, 2009, 10:38:38

I wonder if removing the 2 phone extensions (I use cordless phones) would improve things? The only problem there is, the BT engineer hard wired them to the back of the master socket, not the removable front plate.

Yes it's manually set at 12, I got back onto the BT speedtester, it still shows a 1250 profile

Out of interest is this manually set by yourself or by BT

It could well do, Glenn. As they are wired 'unconventionally' I suspect you could get away with doing it yourself.

BT Steve, it was at 6, then 9 now 12, the last engineer said he would get it done to stabilise my line, along with turning on Interleaving

Glenn · Jan 30, 2009, 10:46:36

One of the extensions runs behind my plasma TV, it generates a lot of ADSL frequency noise when turned on.

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 10:52:59

In that case, definitely remove them.

Glenn · Jan 30, 2009, 11:00:55

OK I'm going in, don't call me for the 20 minutes, I don't want a 48v DC shock

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 11:03:23

Call you what, Glenn?

(I thought it was nearer 80V, btw.)

Simon · Jan 30, 2009, 11:05:31

It might clear your head, Glenn!

Glenn · Jan 30, 2009, 11:12:17

OK all the extensions are disconnected, the router has resync'd a little higher at 2784kbs

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 11:12:59

Not quite enough, shame.

Glenn · Jan 30, 2009, 11:14:59

BTW we were both wrong, it's 50v

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 11:17:29

You measured it?

Glenn · Jan 30, 2009, 11:19:18

No I googled it

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 11:20:54

That's cheating.

Baz · Jan 30, 2009, 18:56:15

mines back to

Your DSL connection rate: 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 4782 kbps

congestion??

BTW got this test done using FF

amazing first time in ages that its worked in FF for me

Rik · Jan 30, 2009, 18:57:15

Congestion is most likely, Baz. IDNet's got masses of extra capacity today, so I can be certain it's not an issue there.

Sebby · Jan 31, 2009, 00:36:11

I agree, it looks like exchange congestion.

Glenn · Jan 31, 2009, 11:54:26

Since removing both extensions, the number of errors over 24hr seems lower than before

DSL
Cumulative Seconds w/Errors:       795       795       5       0:03:30
Cumulative Sec. w/Severe Errors:       127       127       0       2:28:40
Corrected Blocks:       13377       13377       56       0:00:35
Uncorrectable Blocks:       7734       7734       6       0:03:30
DSL Unavailable Seconds:       0       0       0       0:00:00

Rik · Jan 31, 2009, 11:57:49

Every little helps, to coin a phrase.

is this anything to do with the recent work thats been done.

Steve · Feb 01, 2009, 08:32:21

Baz,Not sure about Wednesday but the new router and related issues could possibly account for Thursday and Friday.

Baz · Feb 01, 2009, 08:34:00

cheers Steve, will see if any one else has more ideas

Rik · Feb 01, 2009, 10:53:45

Those times coincide with the outages on all three days, Baz.
